2018 SCGA Super Senior Championship: New Face Atop The Podium

Results

There’s a new face atop the SCGA Super Senior Championship podium – Howie Knodt. Using a stellar first round 2-under 68, the only round under par for the entire tournament, Knodt built himself a four-stroke lead heading into the final day and was able to hang on for the title.

Lighting up the Ojai Valley Inn & Spa’s historic layout, Knodt cruised to the front of the pack by rolling in three birdies in his impressive first round. With two-time defending champion Kemp Richardson lurking four strokes back to begin the final day, Knodt’s title was far from a given. However, he showed strong moxie during that final day, shooting a solid 2-over 72 to hold off the perennial champion.

Frank Piper from Carmel finished second after going 72-71. Richardson and Rick Doebler finished four shots off the pace in a tie for third at 4-over.
